#Help - Need to cut 10 cards from Kambal, Profiteering Mayor

I keep looking at [[afterlife insurance]]. At face value it seems like it would be great, but thinking about it - the times it would be best is a board wipe, but then, it's highly likely my commander is dead by the time the afterlife tokens hit the battlefield.

[[Wedding ring]]
Seems fun, since I would get two of them; but for my "partner" it would also negate the main victory condition of triggering Kambal

I thought about doing kambal from a hunted deck type

#

So this is interesting to see

#

I don't think the lecturer works the way you want

#

Or i misremembered Kambal

#

I remembered him as caring about creating a token when it's about token etbing

#

I think you could drop a swamp, thought vessel and phyrexian arena and one of the tutors

#

Probably grim?

#

Infernal genesis is a card I own and I keep waffling over.

#

Just because it's 6 mana

#

The games I play seem to end around t8 or t9, so I'd get 2ish rounds of triggers.

#

And each card probably makes 2 tokens on average?

wooden bobcat
#

For the same reason I could probably lose divine visitation

hard sphinx
#

It has a really high ceiling

#

Same with visitation

#

I love Kambal and am always happy to see people building him

wooden bobcat
#

Also dropping the perch protection.

hard sphinx
#

I don't have a deck finished with him as commander yet, but I have him in my Vihaan deck

mild hamletBOT
#

No card found for “vihaan deck”

hard sphinx
#

[[Vihaan]]

I really liked the idea of leaning into the "giving other people tokens" to get more tokens.

I don't know ow if it will actually be... good. But it seems interesting

#

I think losing the infernal Genesis is a good call. For 5 mana, the [[awaken the erstwhile]] is much bigger bang

mild hamletBOT

#

If you're leaning into that then thought vessel may make sense to keep for maximum discard punch

#

But ymmv with other opponents

wooden bobcat
#

Assuming like... 3 cards each player. That would be a each make 3. Then you make 9 more.

#

Crap

#

I just realized that Kambal only would do 2 life triggers off that

hard sphinx
#

Yeah, he doesn't do each token

#

He does each instance of it

wooden bobcat
#

That also makes [[tombstone stairwell]] less interesting

Tombstone Stairwell <:mana2:292901509060886528><:manab:292901508872273920><:manab:292901508872273920>

World Enchantment
Cumulative upkeep mana1manab (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.)
At the beginning of each upkeep, if this enchantment is on the battlefield, each player creates a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with haste named Tombspawn for each creature card in their graveyard.
At the beginning of each end step and when this enchantment leaves the battlefield, destroy all tokens created with this enchantment. They can't be regenerated.

hard sphinx
#

One good thing with it is you keep the tombspawn you make from opponents

wooden bobcat
#

Yeah

hard sphinx
#

Because they weren't made with the enchantment

wooden bobcat
#

That would be a ton of zombies at least. Maybe I keep that just to see how it feels because it's a weird card. I like finding uses for old cards like that

hard sphinx
#

It's also only 4 mv

#

So it's good accelerant for that part of the game

wooden bobcat
#

It seems like a lot of people just do a standard aristocrat with him. But that didn't seem very... original

hard sphinx
#

I'm trying to build hare apparent

#

Because of [[secret salvage]]

mild hamletBOT
hard sphinx
#

Which is funny?

wooden bobcat
#

[[Hare apparent]]

mild hamletBOT
wooden bobcat
#

Oh nice, yeah

#

What about [[angel's trumpet]]? I think it might just backfire poorly on me

mild hamletBOT
hard sphinx
#

I know using a mass reanimate only drains for 1 with Kambal but there are soul sisters triggers

#

Yeah, I think less so if you kept the angel tokens? Like you need to reliably swing

#

Maybe [[Teysa Karlov]] makes sense if you go that route?

mild hamletBOT
hard sphinx
#

For the "tokens have vigilance and lifelink"

wooden bobcat
#

The trumpet gives vigilance. But, with only the ghostly prison protecting me from just being the person attacked, I think it'd be a bad idea

hard sphinx
#

Yeah

wooden bobcat
#

I think my misread on Kambals life trigger might have made this like considerably worse than I was thinking. May need to go find some other "for each creature etb" triggers

hard sphinx
#

[[Elas il kor]]

#

If you go with this build never demonstrate the [[charismatic conqueror]]

mild hamletBOT
hard sphinx
#

Because too many of them on the board can draw the game

wooden bobcat
#

I actually just removed the charismatic conquerer

#

Lol

hard sphinx
#

Ok

wooden bobcat
#

I have down to 100 now

hard sphinx
#

I love the card but it's worth pointing out

wooden bobcat
#

I put the divine visitation back in

#

Just for all the tokens being made, since what they are might matter more now

#

Plus, it and the tombstone stairwell would get pretty silly

hard sphinx
#

Yeah
